Coincidentally, I'm wearing the Stone Blue T shirt right now. RIP Lonesome Dave.

Yeah, I just purchased a Foghat t-shirt last week also. And Whoppa, Lonesome Dave was one of the best from the era. For my taste he was a great frontman and wrote some of the best rock & roll songs of the era. I saw Foghat in concert several times - from headlining large venues in the mid-late 70s to playing a smaller rock & roll bar in the early-mid 80s.
Regardless of the venue Lonesome Dave gave it his all. Seeing him play a small bar in Ft. Worth, Texas around 1983 was poignant, but also about as inspiring a thing as I´ve seen as a rock & roll fan. I´d always seen Foghat headline bigger venues, but here Dave and the band were, playing a bar, and still Dave was giving it everything he had. Poignant, but really cool. He was the real deal.
RIP Señor Lonesome Dave.

Couldn't agree more, Jeff. He was an excellent frontman, and seemed to be a humble and warm person.

Foghat were a great band.
They were all English / British guys I believe that went over to the States and never came back if I have my history right?
They played 2 gigs in England just as they formed the band and that was it!
